Chapter 133

The elf still doesn't understand the situation very well, but depending on the situation, he shouldn't have to be resold for the time being.

On the other side, Rand and Elsa also appeared at the resort.

In fact, Rand still has some work not finished, but the urgent matters have been done, and the rest of the night has been dealt with slowly.

What matters now is the maid plan!

When you come to the garment store in the den, the best-selling adventurer outdoor activity suit designed by Ellie.

Everything else is slightly worse.

The owner of the garment store is an old tailor who has served several Barons of Crescent Moon, which is very reliable.

Rand asked the boss if he knew the style of maid outfits of the Elf Maid.

This style should have been specially designed by the nobles. It has a little less practicality, but its aesthetics have increased significantly.

The garment store owner said that he had heard of it, but specific drawings or samples were needed to make it, otherwise there would be deviations.

Rand looked at Elsa, "Did you remember it?"

Elsa raised her eyebrows: "Do you really like maids so much?"

People who live in the age of maids will not understand the love of modern people for maids.

Rand shook his head a little disappointed. Now it seems that he has to find a way to trick the elf maid's clothes off.

He touched his chin and felt his intelligence reach an unprecedented new height.

Elsa knew what Rand was thinking at a glance, and said helplessly: "I've written it down, I'll draw the drawings."

"You can draw clothes?" Rand was a little surprised.

"No," Elsa said, "but I have a good memory. If there is a reference, I should be able to do it."

Rand looked at the garment shop owner. Naturally, the old lady would not disobey the lord's wishes. She walked to the back of the house and took out a drawing from the drawer.

Elsa referenced a few glances of drawings and began drawing.

As it turns out, Elsa is not omnipotent, at least she cannot quickly learn to draw drawings in a short period of time.

Elsa put down her pen awkwardly.

Rand didn't make fun of her either, but now it seems that Plan B has to be started.

The problem is that it is easy to lie to her to take off her maid outfit and replace it with it, but it is difficult to take it away.

Although Rand should have no reputation at the den, if there were any rumors about forcibly taking away the maid's clothes, Rand felt that it would be difficult for him to adapt.

...

"Siege!"

Perot ordered an attack again.

The Flying Fox Army was the core knights of the Earl of Flying Fox as the Grand Duke of the Coniferous Leaf, which is an army of the same level as the Knights of the Grand Duke of the Frost Moon Kingdom today.

It can only be said that it is a blink of an eye to deal with some bandits, villagers and some small nobles' army.

The number of troops his father provided him with was one thousand trained soldiers, as well as 196 flying fox knights.

This is a very terrifying number. If you follow the standards of the Frost Moon Kingdom, a standard earl will only be this number of cavalry.

This also provided him with convenience in siege.

In this era, both sides of the siege were firm enough to fight until the city wall was damaged or one side had no ammunition and food. On the contrary, it was quite rare in the siege battle.

Perhaps only in the northern border, when facing orcs and trolls, can the soldiers have a firm enough belief to defend the city, because in the eyes of orcs and trolls, humans are also a kind of food.

However, the war between humans must be much more eased, especially when their lords are not in the castle, the defenders' will to defend the city will never be very high.

Because they knew very well that if the resistance was too fierce, the city would be massacred.

In this era, the skills that the generals who defend the city need to master most are to judge the strength of the enemy and us, and to master the resource ability of friendly forces.

At least Perot, when he appeared under the city with two hundred camouflage knights with distinctive flying fox patterns, most of the time, he only needed to wait for a moment and the city gate would open.

The troops guarding the city will surrender to them immediately.

Of course, in a very rare case, defenders will also resist stubbornly.

This will cause them trouble, but the opponent will not resist for long.

With the help of the long ladder, the knights and soldiers climbed towards the city wall.

The most commonly used by defenders on the city walls are tree stumps or boulders, but these can only slightly block the pace of some knights.

The squad leader of the Flying Fox Army is basically an elite-level profession. With heavy armor on his body, he will not be killed in a short time even if he faces the enemy's siege.

Then, the pressure on other soldiers who are climbing the ladder will drop sharply.

Then, more and more cans of iron will appear on the city wall.

The castle was broken faster than Perro imagined.

"Kill them all." Perot said, and a lesson must be taught to the resisters.

The knights faithfully carried out Perot's mission and began the carnival of massacre.

There were not many people in a castle, but Perot did not enter the castle. The smell of blood in the castle is too strong.

The Flying Fox Earl gave him much more combat effectiveness than he thought, which also led to the knowledge he learned from military teachers and the military command books he passed on from his family.

He just needs to order the attack and then it's all over.

Of course, he did not forget the task assigned by his father this time to prevent Viscount Rand from mining the iron ore in his territory.

Perot didn't know why his father was so obsessed with a little viscount.

He has been doing some actions that are often used in Perro's eyes to deal with Rand.

But as the second son and as the offspring who want to maintain the status of the first heir, he is not qualified to refuse his father's task.

And although he looked down on Rand's little viscount in his mentality, when he really thought about how to face it, he would inevitably feel feared because of Rand's record.

He had truly seen the strength of the Flying Fox Army, but it was difficult to draw a specific conclusion on what strength Rand's army was in without facing it personally on the battlefield.

But just from the battle record, we know that this is definitely not a serf uprising army or a small noble army that can be easily dealt with.

Chapter 201 Southern Pattern and Olena's Dominance

After the Torch Church split, the gold mine war broke out again.

Nowadays, the alliance led by the Kingdom of Lenza has weakened its national strength due to the rampant Northern Union, and has fallen into a slight disadvantage in its stalemate with another alliance.

This also led to more passive response strategies for southern countries that are closer to the north, such as the Kingdom of Poren and the Kingdom of Renza, to take a more passive response to the territorial invasion plan of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

That is, to shrink, and tolerate it to a limit.

If the gold mine war is won, the occupied land will not be considered a big loss.

And if you lose, these are not the losses that need to be considered first.

At least from the national level, this matter is no longer under their consideration.

Of course, if it is at the level of personal lords, it is a big deal.

Although for obvious reasons, they could not participate in the gold mine war and were allowed to stay and try to defend their territory.

But the country and their vassals did not give them more support.

The great nobles retreated due to strategic buffering, which also led to the fact that these little nobles could not rely on these powerful nobles to defend.

They may be able to defeat one or two of the three families sent by the Frost Moon Kingdom, but that's all. No matter how they calculate, it is impossible to use their power alone to defeat the three pioneering nobles. Driven away.

At this stage, they naturally have some understanding of the Viscounts of the Pioneering who came to explore their territory. Rand is a ruthless character who defeated the Snow Fox Earl.

Shelan and Perot are both heirs to the great nobles. What are they going to beat?

But it is impossible to give up the territory. For the Shifeng nobles, everything in the family is in the territory. Giving up the territory is equivalent to giving up everything, wealth, reputation, glory, and everything will disappear.

Even the nobles who gave up their territory and fled may lose their titles and become ordinary citizens.

Such laws are more stringent in the northern border of the north.

Because they want to resist the attacks of orcs and trolls, the nobles who gave up their territory and fled would default to deserters, and some would be executed.

So they did something against their reputation and glory.

Work with the fishman in the Inland Sea and Naga.

For the nobles who were harassed by amphibians in the inland sea, doing so is undoubtedly a shame.

If they were heard that they cooperated with the evil creatures with egg-born and sticky eggs to drive away the nobles in the north, they would undoubtedly be ridiculed.

But compared to losing territory, these are all insignificant trivial matters.

Of course, before cooperation, there is another difficulty that needs to be solved, that is, these monsters cannot understand the common language in the mainland.

And there are obviously no translation talents in the territory of these little nobles who can translate the language of the fishman.

This is not too difficult. Some bards are good at multiple languages, but it is not easy to find in a short period of time.

...

Olena continued to advance with the army. Because the captured prisoners were too low in their cultural level, the information they were tortured was neither accurate nor reliable.

The only useful thing is probably the name Burning Self-Defense Force.

But he was just a little surprised. After Olena finished writing the report, she was about to go back with the guards and report to Rand.

What is the specific situation? It is estimated that it will be discovered by Elsa's spy system.

Although she has caught some clues now, she does not intend to take people to investigate.

The guards should not leave their lord for too long, and Olena's job is not a general who leads the army outside. How to make a decision is a problem that Rand needs to consider. She does not intend to do something that will be unbearable for military orders outside the country. matter.

The guards naturally had no objection. This time they came out to breathe and they felt very comfortable. Their first task was to protect the lord. Although they had a lot of training, they did not have many opportunities to fight in person.

This time I came out to fight the thief, but I let the sword get bloody for a long time.

But leaving the lord for too long is obviously inconsistent with their duties.

On the way back, Olena observed the roadside.

This time I came out, I was just a field investigation. Which sections of roads need to be reinforced and which sections need to be widened. Olena recorded these with a pen and planned to revise the plan for building the road after returning to the den.

Since she arrived at the den, she hasn't left Rand's side for so long.

Maybe because of Rand's hobbies or because of her expertise, her job has always been to stay with Rand.

It is rare to perform tasks now, and it feels quite novel.

Before meeting Rand, I was alone for so many years, and at most Ellie came here.

After meeting Rand, he was too concerned about him.

Now coming out, in a sense, is it also relax?

Even if you come out for vacation, you will often think of Rand's face.

In the warm spring sun, Olena wore soft armor and shoulder-pillars, rode a horse and walked with her guards.

She originally wanted to go back early, but now she seems to be not too relaxed.

There is a multi-tree terrain nearby, which is very suitable for ambushing.

Unfortunately, as the most senior profession, it is too easy to find the enemy while being alert.

"Stop, beware." Olena ordered in a deep voice.

It took only two breaths for the entire army to switch from marching to static.

There was only the sound of horses sniffing on the road in an instant.

If discovered in advance, the effect of the ambush will be greatly reduced, but the ambusher on the opposite side seems very confident about his strength, and instead slowly walks out of the woods.

In this world, there is no convenient way to accurately judge the strength level of strangers.

But as long as you don’t deliberately disguise, you can still feel the level.

The gap between an ordinary profession and a superior profession is obvious.

And if the observer himself has high strength, it will be easier to judge the enemy's strength.
